Stitching the Night Away

Cross Stitch

Bella’s Block Ornament

Bella's Block Cross Stitch Ornament (stitched)
$2.00

The model was stitched on 28 count opalescent Lugana fabric, a ‘solo’ piece from Silkweaver Fabrics. Finished block is 41 x 41 stitches in size.

While I do include a floss key for the colors I used to stitch the piece, I do encourage you to choose your own colors to match your holiday decor or to suit the cross stitched ornament gift that you’re creating for someone. Have fun with it, use up some leftovers from your stash, or pull out those hand dyed threads you’ve been ‘saving for later’ to try out.

Knots and Blocks Quilt Inspired Ornament

This ornament was inspired by a combination of classic quilt designs and Celtic knot motifs. The way the blocks are laid out, you can finish it as a traditional ornament or as a biscornu if you prefer.

Pattern size is 51 x 51 stitches. The model was stitched on 28 count opalescent Lugana fabric, a ‘solo’ piece from Silkweaver Fabrics. While I do include the color key for the colors I used to stitch my ornament (DMC 553, 552, 414, 319, and 29) I do strongly encourage you to use any colors from your stash. Choose something to match your holiday decor, maybe choose your favorite color, you can even stitch it monochrome with an variegated thread.

Obvious Things, a Sherlock Holmes Inspired Silhouette and Quote Pattern

The Sherlock Holmes stories by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle are my absolute favorite pieces of literature. I’ve read all of them at least twice, and many of them thrice. This particular quote is taken from The Hound of the Baskervilles…

Sherlock Holmes Silhouette and Quote: The world is full of obvious things which nobody by any chance ever observes.

Lady Liberty, Mother of Exiles, The New Colossus

The text is the poem by Emma Lazarus that is displayed at The Statue of Liberty.

Lady Liberty The New Colossus Cross Stitch Pattern ~ Poem by Emma Lazarus as displayed at the Statue of Liberty: Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame, With conquering limbs astride from land to land; Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name MOTHER OF EXILES. From her beacon-hand Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
